JEAN MARIE CAPELLI March 3, 1936 – Feb. 25, 2024

Jean M. Capelli-Lindsay, 87, passed away February 25, 2024. She was born,

March 3, 1936, Greenville, Ohio, to the late Velma and Paul Begin. She was raised on a farm in Versailles, Ohio, and graduated from high school in Angola, Indiana.

Jean had lived in Los Alamos since 1968 and worked for the Los Alamos National Laboratory for over 25 years in Engineering, Budget, and Accounting Divisions as a Secretary and Administrative Assistant as well as working as a Contractor after retiring in 1993.

She enjoyed her grandchildren, playing the piano, singing in the choir, baseball, camping, elk and deer hunting, gardening, rock hunting, traveling, and fishing in her husband’s secret New Mexico stream, Navajo Lake, and in the bays of the Gulf of Mexico along with bird watching.

After retirement Jean and her husband Jim Lindsay spent winters in Texas and summers in Los Alamos.

Jean was the most caring, thoughtful, and loving person (in a world where such true and honorable traits are so divinely rare). She was an amazing mother and person, whether she was your neighbor, family member, bridge partner, or random person on the street. Jean was extremely honest and truthful and could always be trusted. She never let her family or friends down and was always there to help. I would say that we have all gained an Angel through her death, but she was already an Angel while she was alive. She will be deeply missed and loved forever.

Jean is survived by her children Cindy Capelli, Steve Capelli; her grandchild Ryan Capelli and nephew Robby Begin.

Jean’s family will hold a private memorial.
